Magnetix I-Coaster

My sons, ages 9, 7, and 6, really enjoy this toy! It is a great building set that allows them to work together to create a roller-coaster type path for the ball. They have to solve problems by finding the right track or piece that will get the ball back to the start or fix angles in the track if the ball falls off, etc. Adding the music and lights makes it even more fun! It's a great hands-on toy that teaches about magnetism, gravity and physics. Very entertaining!

We purchased this item for our son as a Christmas gift. He absolutly loves it and has been playing with it constantly. One of the things that we really like about it is that you can make numerous different "coasters" instead of just one. It also has different levels of difficulty for building the coasters. I would recommend the I-Coaster to anyone. My nine year old son loves it and my husband enjoys building some of the more difficult coasters.

My son loves this toy when we can get it to work well. It's pretty cool. However, the marble does not always stay on the track. Also, it takes a very long time to set up and once set up, the supports can often tip/fall without much provocation. Overall, noty worth the money or aggravation. He got it last Christmas and hasn't touched it since.

My son wanted this sooo bad for his 10th birthday.
He set it up ok, but no cord to hook up mp3.
With the already high price this is a extra, ouch!
Speaker is wimpy and cheep! Tracks fall off with the slightest movement. ect..
He wants to keep it as he is a whiz at fixing things.
Not recommended. The cat likes to watch the ball.
He sits at the part of the track where the ball
falls off.... the magnets are not strong enough.
Too bad Magnetics brand are usually a big hit..

What a horrible Christmas gift. I got this for Christmas in 2007 and was looking forward to it.I tried to configure it and couldn't. I asked for my parents help and it took them about 3 hours. I'm a geek and was totally psyched. It fell over constantly. Thanks for the toy, big woop. This thing would fall over if two marbles were on the same track. It was a piece of crud. I tried as hard as I could to have fun with this along with my diminishin attention span. I totally just knocked it over trashing this thing. I kept up trying to not make this a waste of money. Then I knew I had to make a buck or two on it when it costs so friekin' much. I told my uncle to post it on Amazon. I kept waiting for it to sell.We had to drop the price like three times before anybody in their right mind would buy this.Please do not buy it. I would totally avoid buying this for anyone except for your enemies.
